<p>Does anybody have any statistics for those who got off the waitlist in the previos years? It seems like a large number of internationals were waitlisted this year. Could this year be any unusual?</p>
<p>Getting off the waitlist is a possibility...but it is very hard to do so.</p>
<p>I don't have the stats, but two of three relatives that I know applied to BC got waitlisted and then got in, so there is hope.</p>
<p>It's especially tough because BC specifically says that they will only consider new grades for those who have been waitlisted. About the statistics, I think my letter said something like the usual amount of people who get off is 40-50 out of over 600...</p>
<p>I'm not international by the way.</p>
<p>my roommate this year got off the waitlist. also a kid from my HS did, and a girl thats in one of my classes. so its hard to do but not impossible</p>
<p>There is so much uncertainty this year due to financial concerns, that spots may open up for the fall that in previous years did not. Keep the faith!</p>
<p>Wheww...thats a releif...In places like UMICh its safe to say that alomost no will get off the waitlist....they waitlist like 20% of all applicants.
Thanks u'll just made my day</p>
